[quite the refrain and a necessary mantra. he wasn't okay, this would never be okay, but as long as he could pretend otherwise, then it was manageable.
it may or may not have been a threat, those claws on his face, but they don't so much as break skin. and indeed they slip away, almost softly, almost gentle in spite of the fact that there was no gentleness here. not really, not even when he lies slumped against pegasus, silent and still, recovering from that high as he returns to reality. he could pretend things were okay but he couldn't pretend this was healthy. it would never be, after all was said and done. that realization hits him hard as he sobers up, as the drugs slip away.
and truth be told, he's tired too. so seto just grunts at the request, ever so maturely:]
Don't wanna.
[he wants pegasus to leave but he doesn't want to move. quite the quandary. he curls closer, clings harder.]
Dumb horse. Look what you did.
[as if he didn't have a heavy hand in it. he sighs, burying his head, shutting his eyes.]
We fucked up. We really fucked up this time.
[and they would never, ever come back from this. what an unfortunate feeling.]
